3/15/18 - Our customers requested that we run the track CCW, but after reviewing all of the speed and safety issues that are created by running that direction, we have decided to run up the hill as we did last year.

3/14/18 - PRE-TECH is mandatory PRIOR to taking the track for your first practice session for this event (whether it be Friday or Saturday morning), and you MUST get a sticker from Tech showing you passed PRE-TECH

The 2017 Superkarts! USA Pro Tour was completed just two weeks ago with the eighth running of the SummerNationals, which set a new entry record for the event that was held at New Castle Motorsports Park in Indiana. With the season’s champions now decided, the focus turns to year-end celebration as in just over 80 days, competitors from around the world will converge on the Las Vegas Convention Center for the 21st running of the SKUSA SuperNationals. On November 15-19, karters will take on a new circuit on brand new pavement searching for a chance at scoring a main event victory on SuperSunday, etching their name in the history books. Drivers planning to be part of the pinnacle event of North American karting should be prepared, as registration is set to open to the public on Sunday, August 27.

The California ProKart Challenge returns to action for the first time since the beginning of July, gearing up to host Round Five of the championship chase. The Monterey Bay Karters facility in Marina, California on Labor Day weekend will welcome some of the best racers in Superkarts! USA regional racing. The unique course will see racers hitting the track on September 1-2 in the five IAME and six Stock Honda categories, all with championship chases to be defined even further prior to the series finale at the end of September at the Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix.

The championship still remains up for grabs in the Vemme Kart S1 Pro Stock Honda standings. Three-time champion Billy Musgrave has secured three victories and a runner-up finish over the first four rounds; however, SKUSA Pro Tour winner Hunter Pickett has kept it close. The two are only separated by 115 points heading into Round Five, with Round Four winner Matias Podboj needing another victory to put himself back in contention. Formula Works/CompKart X30 Senior championship chase is still in the hands of defending title winner Nicky Hays. The gap is only 108 points in that fight with Round Three victor Michael Avansino as the lead challenger. Andrick Zeen still has an outside shot, needing more podium success with a little help.

Just a reminded that we are opening pre-registration for SuperNats 21 this Sunday, August 27th at 7pm Pacific time. Shifter classes and Micro Swift are capped at 44 and Mini Swift, X30 Jr, Sr and Master are capped at 88. Many classes already have several entries from the Priority Pre-Entry Program so we'd advise getting your entries in as early as possible. You will find the event on MSR shortly, but you won’t be able to submit until this Sunday at 7pm.
